I Was on the National News!

Everything changed for me over the past week. Global National featured this project (J.Williamez: 52 Songs -- in case you got here by mistake while looking for porn) in a feature story on January 15th of this year, thanks to the hard work of the wonderful Lauren McNabb and the lovely Kurt Brownridge.

 Watch the Global National Story on J.Williamez: 52 Songs

After being on the national news and having all of my internet friends congratulate me and tell me (what I already suspected) that I have now officially made it to the big time and that I am officially super successful, I realized that still can't pay my rent.

So, to make myself feel better, I wrote this song ridiculing myself for getting caught up in the moment. Because that's how I make myself feel better.

So please enjoy the 3rd song of 52, called "National News".

And Now, to Literally Double My Productivity So Far...

The second song of my project is finally done, and I couldn't (legally) be happier!

It's called "Elk vs. Coke Machine", and it's about the genetic uncertainty that comes as part of having been adopted as a baby, which I was, (by the best family ever).

I had some serious help on this one, from my good friend, the lovely Chris Gaudry, who not only played drums on the track, but also mixed it and mastered it as well, because having a baby to look after clearly isn't keeping him busy enough. Thanks Chris!

Some of you may have seen the story on Global National about my project and, subsequently, you may have been led to believe that this week's song was going to be "An Open Letter to Kevin Bacon". Well I'm saving that one for next week when the video will be done, so get over it! maybe that will teach you not to believe everything you hear on TV! Especially when someone as sketchy as ME is saying it!

Anyway, thank for stopping by my blog, and for (presumably) being interested in

And So it Begins... with Song #1

So here it is: Song #1 of 52!

A little late, sure, but it's because I wanted it to be special. And when I want something to be special, I give it the J.Williamez special treatment, which means I leave it until the last possible day, and then I pull a crazy all nighter, getting it done, and putting away two pots of coffee in the process.
I'm really proud of this first song! It's called "52 Songs".

The song itself it a nice introduction to the project, and I'm super happy with how the video turned out, especially because I shot the whole thing myself, with absolutely no help whatsoever from my cat, Mona, who, I have to admit, just sort of sat there and watched me work my ass off all night. Bitch! But then again, that's why I love her!

Anyway, stay tuned and keep checking into to this blog for more weekly songs to come!

An Introduction to 52 Songs

Hi Internet Friends!

Welcome to the official Blog for J.Williamez: 52 Songs! 

52 Songs is a project I'll be working on all year. Every week in 2014, I'm going to write and record a song, and post it to this blog. The songs with range in topic, length quality and offensiveness based on how I'm feeling that week.

Some weeks, I'll post an audio file, while other weeks, I'll get off my lazy ass and actually make a video for that week's song as well.

My plan is to collaborate with as many people on this project as I can, so at the end of the year I don't end up with 52 songs that sound the same and that are all about my cat.

So make sure to keep Checking this blog over the next year to fill your ear bellies with some delicious music! 

How much delicious music? 52 Songs!
